In KS, when an employee is fired, the employer must give them their final paycheck on or before the next regularly scheduled pay date. There are no circumstances under which an employer can totally withhold a final paycheck; typically they employers are required to issue a final paycheck containing compensation for all earned, unpaid wages.
